House passes U.S. Attorney legislation

Legislative reporting sentence of the day: Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed its version of a piece of legislation originally sponsored by Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA) which overturns a PATRIOT Act provision that allows the president to appoint U.S. Attorneys without congressional approval.

What's particularly good about this move is that it retroactively applies to the eight U.S. Attorneys that President Bush appointed to replace the other eight U.S. Attorneys that he dismissed so unceremoniously.

So... again... will he sign?
